Product Launch Invitation

The exams are over. Some people cried, some laughed, but regardless, everyone is excitedly looking forward to the upcoming training camp in the woods.

"Syria is hiring summer workers. Guns will be distributed on-site. Quirk is available. $600 per day, paid daily. Students and seniors are welcome. Priority given to those who have played FPS games." Jilan scrolled through the email address she registered under the name "Joseph Joestar," and speechlessly dragged the message to the recycle bin. "What's the point of sending me this email? Does it want me to use Thompson Hamon Overdrive 'rat-a-tat-tat'?" It's 2099 now; who would believe this kind of email? They're struggling to even feed their mercenaries, let alone pay them.

The Syria conflict has existed since the 21st century. Before Jilan's rebirth, the fighting was already nearing its end, when the Syria government had reclaimed 80% of the land from the rebels and peace seemed imminent.

However, according to historical documents, Jilan, the concept of "Quirk" emerged at this time. Even people who were powerless could gain power. The people who had never had guns and could only drift aimlessly were now in a state of chaos. Not only the government army, but also the rebel army was attacked by the people. They were too busy to fight.

So they temporarily signed a peace agreement, deciding to appease the people under their rule first. Even today, although they maintain a temporary peace, local wars continue to break out. All it takes is a spark like the Sarajevo attack to ignite a full-scale war.

However, these things have nothing to do with Jilan.

However, there was one point that greatly interested Jilan: it was said that those who mastered their Quirk were awakened to self-awareness one day, and that the majority of them were teenagers, and that their Quirk all had more or less flaws.

Perhaps due to different timelines, Jilan had never received any information about the Stone Mask, nor was there a foundation called S. Therefore, this world could not be the world of JoJo. Even if Dio appeared in this world, Jilan had to make a great deal of effort to believe it.

However, once this decision is made, many facts can be uncovered one by one.

For example, the abilities known as "Quirk" Kaminari this world could actually have been triggered by Dio using the "arrow" that brought this world to it, and the timing matches perfectly.

"One" refers to the first recorded individuals to possess Quirk.

The flaws in the Quirk are also easy to explain. It is possible that Dio found a way to Copy this arrow and was able to filter out people with the adaptability on a large scale. Although he lost the "stand-in", he made the "Quirk" come into existence in this world.

Teenagers are the most intellectually active group, and people at this stage are most likely to unleash their abilities. Dio may be using the Syria war as an opportunity to mass-produce ability users in Syria.

This inference is basically logically consistent and is very likely the truth. However, Jilan still can't figure out one thing: Dio wants to rule the world. He would not randomly stab every qualified person with "arrows". Given his cautious nature, he would definitely install "Flesh Bud" similar to those on Kakyoin in people with abilities in order to control them.

So why did Quirk spread throughout the world at the same time?

Jilan never understood this point.

However, there was no need to think too much about this. Jilan rubbed her head, which was a little throbbing from thinking for so long, and was about to turn off the computer when an email came in.

Could this be some kind of spam email?

Jilan opened the email, and a video popped up—a short animation she was making.

After a brief black screen, an exquisite 3D room appears, filled with a fairytale-like pink romantic ambiance. The owner seems to be a young, pampered princess at home.

The scene gradually shifts, and sure enough, on that pink bed, a little girl with blonde hair, wearing a hooded cape, is fast asleep, giving off a sense of déjà vu.

Less than two seconds later, a chibi-style Werewolf dressed in a gentleman's suit jumped out from below, took off his hat, bowed to the screen, and said, "Mr. Jojo, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

This is an email from Dark Shadow, and he even created a short animation for it?

Jilan was somewhat surprised, but she continued watching anyway.

"Do you remember me? I'm the owner of Dark Shadow Shop, a model maker by hobby!" The Werewolf carefully put the hat on his head and said excitedly, "A few months ago, weren't you interested in our new model concept? I'm now officially informing you that after nearly a hundred days of hard work, we've finally submitted a result that satisfies me. As one of our most valued clients, we cordially invite you to our new product launch!"

After he finished speaking, the screen went dark, leaving only two options: yes.

New product launch? Jilan remembered that a few months ago, the Dark Shadow's official website featured a product that claimed to be "absolutely real" on its cover. At the time, Jilan was interested in it and asked the shop owner about it. He said that the product was not yet finished and refused to reveal any information about it.

Jilan originally wanted to buy it, but the exorbitant price made him hesitate. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he didn't see the need to spend several times the amount of money to buy something whose contents he didn't know.

But now, with the proceeds from the concert that Jilan received from Camie Utsushimi, she has enough money to buy this product, and Jilan is indeed quite interested in it.

Although blowing someone up on the night the Sports Festival ended dispelled the obsession that Jilan had built up over the past few days with his rival, Jilan knew that those feelings would return with time, and he couldn't be sure if he could control himself then.

Jilan looked at her nails, which had grown a bit longer, sighed, typed "yes" on the screen, and picked up the nail clippers to start trimming them.

In the days to come, he will likely face Dio and his League of Villains. Therefore, if he can find satisfaction in the product the shopkeeper offers and control his emotions that could erupt at any moment, he will be safer.

"Mr. Jojo, I knew you'd choose to come to our press conference!" The Werewolf in the video jumped up, grabbed the sleeping girl on the bed, and excitedly said, "Our invitation has been sent with your latest order. Please remember to receive it!"

"Well then, goodbye!" The Werewolf waved and dashed out of the scene. The princess room, whose owner was no longer there, folded up like origami and became a rectangular, gilded card.

The address written above is

"The Voyager?" Jilan read aloud with some surprise.

Before Jilan could even think about it, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Jilan, don't forget our group shopping trip tomorrow!" Toru Hagakure's excited voice came through the phone. "If you're late, we won't forgive you!"

Group shopping?

Oh, right. Jilan remembered that many people said they needed to buy some things for the upcoming forest training camp, so Toru Hagakure suggested that those who had time tomorrow go to the mall together to buy the necessary items.

At the time, Jilan also thought that she didn't have a swimsuit or anything like that and would need to buy one, so she casually agreed to Hagakure's request.

Thinking of this, Jilan sighed. The forest training camp was scheduled just before the start of the school term; it was only the beginning of summer vacation. They were just being overly enthusiastic.

However, it seems the Voyager really needs to make some serious purchases.
